Hi everybody. I'm attempting to do a similar thing; talk interactively
with my ISDN modem before I actually write a chat script. I've got a
minimally configured firewall with very few packages installed, and kermit
is missing. I've done searches on the Redhat and Caldera sites for
kermit; I *know* it must be on the distribution disc, but I haven't found
it. Can someone please tell me where kermit normally gets installed, and
what package contains it? If you're feeling really kind, throw me an ftp
link.
Thanks!
